It is very out of date. It changed 2 or 3 years ago. Since many CCRs don't guest, and there are relatively few users - just a few a day - some staff are not aware of it, but it's in the white binder.

I believe it is still BA metal. On the other hand an AA codeshare on BA metal is, I believe, allowed, so long as it's in First and one is departing LHR T5 or JFK T7 with BA.

You do get Flagship Access on 3 class domestics in the USA, provided it's transcontinental or has a leg outside North America.
